DealExtreme.com has an interesting device for sale on their website. It looks like the HTC Diamond 2 but it is actually a Diamond 2 clone from Hong Kong that has been tweaked a bit. The biggest feature is the ability to dual boot between Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android 2.0. I did a bit of digging around and found the videos below showing the phone booting into Android and into WM6.5. The clone is available for $199.90 from DX and they offer a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. They will handle for you should your device need service but you pay shipping both ways overseas.

The Diamond 2 clone specs include:

* 3.2″ Touchscreen Display
* 624MHz Marvell PXA310 processor
* 256MB RAM & 512MB Flash
* 3.0MP Camera
* Bluetooth V2.0, 802.11b/G Wi-Fi, GPS via Inner Sirf III
* 2GB MicroSD included, expandable to 16GB
* Built-in FM radio tuner
* Android OS 2.0 & Windows Mobile 6.5 Dual Boot

Now this is a GSM device so only service providers with GSM service and SIM cards, such as T-Mobile and AT&T, will work. Either way this is a neat little device for those of you who want the best of both worlds. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one to try out but I am on Verizon. If any of you grab one be sure to let us know what you think.
